Applicable for work and life
This book is so great! I purchased the book and listened to the audiobook as well. There are so many applicable lessons and tactics relating to both work and life. I recommend the book widely, especially to parents and colleagues (I work in marketing). I have not been a huge fan of Adam Grant’s books prior to this one. I will also plug the audiobook, which is such a delightful listen. Grant brings in several of the voices (really) he interviews in the book. This variety is super entertaining and makes listening more fun.

Very insightful , entertaining and interesting to read .

Good book, but short of being seminal piece of work!
Adam Grant is a dominant voice in the world of psychology so expectations are always very high. This book almost does justice to those expectations but IMHO, this is not a seminal piece of work (yet). It is somewhat of a mix between Angela Duckworth’s Grit and Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers. Unlike Grit it doesn’t have many prescriptive solutions and unlike Outliers, it has fewer stories that are interesting. Some of this 2*2 grids are not very intuitive either. However, this books should be read for two things:
– Some norms that are challenged e.g., he challenges the full efficacy of 10,000 rule to master something, rather advocating for “harmonious passion” as a complementary technique.
– His catchy writing (almost too catchy). The content is replete with his trademark three-sentence articulation. Sample this: “A critic sees your weaknesses and attacks your worst self. A cheerleader sets your strengths and celebrates your best self. A coach sees your potential and helps you become a better version of yourself.”
Net: It is a good book and as long as you temper your expectations a little bit, you should be good.
And I do think that a seminal piece of work from Grant is around the corner.
Enjoy.

Amazing book. Much needed eye opener
There is a lot to learn from this about oneâs own hidden potential. It was an inspiring read. Highly recommend it.

Very practical guid how to find your unpolished gems.
The big differences between this book and other self-help book are as follows.
1. This book is based on scientific evidence. Most of the guides written in this book are proved through experiment or statistical data.
2. This books is well mixed with authorâs experience and insight. This book is not summary of author hearing of a subject. This is implies authorâs insight through his life and deep thinking. I appreciate his generous mind to share his important insights with readers.
3. This book is written plain English, but the contents are not light. Exciting to read but reader has to focus and memorize important messages.
This book deserves to buy, and I wish others earn authorâs deep insights like me.

I bought two copies so I could send one to my principal friend.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I bought a second copy so I could send it to my friend who’s a principal. This is a great book that really made me consider how we think about potential, how we can foster it, and why we should look for potential in each person.

Hidden Potential fulfills its potential.
Adam Grant’s books always deliver. Look forward to more.

I thought throughout the book while reading if I’m liking it because of the book or because I have enjoyed all the books I have read so far by Adam Grant. With each section, study, and finding, my decision in reading this book was being reaffirmed.
The book not only covers the personal effort required of us to fulfill the hidden potential within us but also the effort we need to find in our close groups and the effort we need to exert in the world at large and its archaic systems. It begins with the discussion of imposter syndrome and how we should focus on progress and excellence but not perfection. It goes on to talk about the support we should find in the community and how to find motivation through societal interactions. Finally, it talks about building systems that amplify the potential.
At the end of my read, this book has left me with a charged feeling where factual knowledge matches what I feel and I felt I knew all along. This book is one of my best reads this year.

Good book, fast service

The book provides science-backed elements and will help people who look for basic content.
The first quarter of the book can be summarised by the idiom âget out of your confort zone to growâ. The rest is a mix of ideas for which you have 1 sentence of content which is nothing new in the field for 10 of life exemples. I donât understand such a hype for this book.
If you are interested in a really good (and accessible) book related to performance and mindset I recommend âPeak: secrets from the new science of expertiseâ dated in 2016. It will be a much better choice.
